(CNN) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden shouldn't debate President Donald Trump, claiming that his Republican rival in the 2020 election would "belittle" what the presidential debates should be about. "I don't think that there should be any debates. She said she "wouldn't legitimize a conversation" with Trump, "nor a debate in terms of the presidency of the United States." Pelosi's comments come as the Biden campaign has been fighting accusations from the Trump campaign and Republicans that the former vice president does not want to debate Trump. Following Pelosi's comments, Biden and his campaign made clear that he still intends to debate Trump.
